To be clear, all the profiles that show up with eselect profiles will
remain as is, and will continue to get love!
You'd have to go out of your way to used these sub-profiles! You'd have
to manually create the sym link to them. If you have never done this,
then don't worry.
A bit of history, these sub-profiles were inherited from the older set
of profiles whose deprecation was started by Gordon (gengor) and ended
by me. I kept these sub-profiles around because they were there in the
old set when I migrated. But over time I began to realize their
uselessness. Time to clean shop.
Okay, the following subprofiles have been marked deprecated in favor of
their parent profiles:
hardened/linux/amd64/desktop
hardened/linux/amd64/developer
hardened/linux/amd64/server
hardened/linux/ia64/desktop
hardened/linux/ia64/developer
hardened/linux/ia64/server
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc32/desktop
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc32/developer
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc32/server
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/32bit-userland/desktop
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/32bit-userland/developer
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/32bit-userland/server
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/64bit-userland/desktop
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/64bit-userland/developer
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/64bit-userland/server
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/desktop
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/developer
hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/server
hardened/linux/x86/desktop
hardened/linux/x86/developer
hardened/linux/x86/minimal
hardened/linux/x86/server
So, for example hardened/linux/amd64/desktop will not default to
hardened/linux/amd64.
I'll wait for screaming, and when I hear none, I will remove these from
the tree in about 1 month.
Also, I will be adding version 13.0 hardened profiles soon, but only for
amd64 and x86. These will be for testing only and will not show up in
eselect profile .... Once we're satisfied that 13.0 is okay with
hardened, I'll switch the regular profiles over. The average user
should not even notice the change. I'm leaning towards a 6 month period
for testing for 13.0.
